Thanksgiving Week

Trying as ever to get her to eat, we tried some rice rusks that Brother eats, she likes them!

Happy to be playing with sister!

Speech eval – she played pretend! When asked to put the bear to sleep, she put a wash cloth on it. When asked to give the bear a drink, she put the cup to its mouth! Wahoo. Six months ago she looked at us like “you must be kidding me.” But this time, she did it. Progress, it’s all about progress over here!

Thanksgiving at Grandma’s - playing with cousins on the trampoline.

Gotcha!

Bella and her interesting way to use headphones :) A wonderful view of her crazy leg and why I’ve pretty much given up that she’ll ever walk normally. Human legs aren’t meant to turn that way.

Cuddling with sister early on a Sunday morning.

Tuesday we spent all day going, being, and coming home from downtown for our endocrine appointment. I pulled the “since we have been decannulated” card out and asked if we could please find a doctor closer to home. And she agreed! Hallelujah. So excited to be moving away from the medical center! Slowly, but surely.

Well, maybe I’m too close to see you clearlyOr is it now my role to simply believe?You’re just one of those mysteriesThat may never be solved in timeBut you do — you do — you shine

And Sammy will do what Sammy will do when Sammy is ready to do itAnd Trevor will do what Trevor will do when Trevor is ready to do itAnd Lucy will do what Lucy will do when Lucy is ready to do itAnd they’ll do it in their own time
